STAY INFORMED; FOLLOW TCC ON FACEBOOK Following TCC on Facebook is a great way to stay informed of TCC news and events, new Internet viruses and scams going around, service tips, cool new tech gizmos, and even the occasional contest. It’s easy! Open your Facebook, click or tap in the search box at the top and type “tricounty coop.” You should see the TCC Facebook page at the top of the results. Click on the link to open the TCC page. Click the Like and Follow buttons so TCC posts show up in your News Feed. In This Issue: Annual Meeting Update TCC-Covid Update Safe and Informed Happy Father’s Day SmartHub Streaming: Voice Search Digger’s Hotline Arts & Crafts Websites __________________ Upcoming Events Please check the web and Facebook pages of TCC and other area businesses, clubs, and organizations to get information about any postponed or canceled events. JUNE 2020 ARTS AND CRAFT WEBSITES AND APPS Whether you want to get ideas to spruce up your home, find projects to keep the kids busy, or find ways to share or sell your own works, we hope you’ll find what you are looking for at the following websites: DIY PROJECTS diyprojects.com DIY Projects is a website full of Do-It-Yourself projects! It offers ideas and tutorials on a wide range of projects from simple to com- plex and under a large umbrella of topics from home decor to org- anization to camping. They even offer tutorials for things like basic electrical work, tiling, and furniture repair. DIY Projects is definitely a great place to go if you’re looking for something to do! YOUTUBE youtube.com YouTube (the original “video” website) is an absolute gold mine of arts & crafts videos from home-made videos to professional productions. It is a great resource for learning skills and seeing finished products. Because it is not for just arts and crafts, you may have to do a little searching to find the videos you want. BLUPRINT mybluprint.com Bluprint (formerly Craftsy) is a website and app devoted to crafts including ideas, tutorials, instructions, and even online classes. Bluprint covers Fabric/Fiber, Food, Art, and Living (Home) crafts. This website has a lot of fabric and fiber craft content. PINTEREST pinterest.com Pinterest is a website and app mostly for showcasing your finish- ed products while inspiring the creativity in others. It is one of the best places for displaying crafty ideas and foods. Users create ac- counts and post pictures of their projects and dishes. For better organization, Pinterest lets you create separate “boards” for each type/topic of arts/crafts that you want to pin (post). That way all of your pictures aren’t just lumped together in one collection. You can also follow your favorite people so you get notifications when they post new pictures to their boards. LIFEHACK www.lifehack.org Lifehack — This website is all about finding creative and clever ways to do things in unique ways or in a DIY fashion. It features bigger ideas like career changes, parenting and diet tips, travel, and finance ideas as well as brilliant tips for simple, cheap, and effective ways to make small things in your life a little easier or better. ANNUAL MEETING RECAP The TCC Annual Membership Meeting was held on April 28th at 7 pm. This year, the meeting was held “virtually” by being broadcast live on Facebook and also broadcast on TCCTV on April 29th. The details of the Annual Membership Meeting can be found online at: www.tccpro.net/gettcc/annual-meeting. At the time of the printing of this newsletter (May 20th), TCC’s offices are not yet open to the public and we are not yet staffing the Galesville office (Library Community Room). You can view and pay your bill online through our Smart Hub program. Download the “SmartHub” app to your mobile device or go to https://tcc.smarthub.coop. You can also call in a payment with our secure payment line. Our offices in Strum and Independence have drop boxes and can accept payments and equipment returns. We will continue to evaluate. Watch our Facebook page, website, or call us for updates. TCC-COVID-19 UPDATE SUNDAY, JUNE 21st SUNDAY, JUNE 21st
